Towards the maximum efficiency design of a perovskite solar cell by material properties tuning: A multidimensional approach

Abstract

To obtain significant increases in the Power Conversion Efficiency (PCE) of solar cells, future cell research and development should be based on the concomitant improvement of multiple material properties, rather than on the state-of-the-art one or two-dimensional improvements. In this context, researchers should know, which combined material properties and cell design parameters lead to the highest efficiency increase. For the same objective, it should also be known which relationships in-between these variables have to be adjusted. Such knowledge becomes available by simulation and numerical optimization, which we present for a Perovskite Solar Cell(PSC)in a hypercube space of variables.
